Description
Triumph Spitfire 1500 | 1978
Highlights:
- 1.5L 4-cylinder petrol engine
- Manual 4-speed gearbox
- White paintwork with black soft top
- Classic British roadster design
This 1978 Triumph Spitfire 1500 offers a true open-top driving experience in classic British style. Powered by a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder engine paired with a manual 4-speed gearbox, the Spitfire delivers light and nimble handling, staying true to its roots as a small, accessible sports car.
The car is finished in white. Its overall condition is fair, with paintwork and trim showing signs of age and use. The brown vinyl interior retains its original look, but also displays wear consistent with its age. The dashboard provides the simple, analogue charm enthusiasts appreciate.
Mechanically, the engine bay appears complete, with the dual carburettor setup in place. While the car is not in perfect cosmetic condition, it is a usable classic that could be enjoyed as-is or taken on as a light restoration project.
With its low stance, long bonnet, and open-top appeal, this Triumph Spitfire remains a popular entry into classic sports car ownership, offering vintage style and driving fun at a reasonable cost.

The description of this car is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Route 66 Auctions requests a range of detail about the car from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. We strongly advise potential buyers to view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy.
Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible cars to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be hard to see even upon visual inspection. Unless there is an explicit statement by the seller to the contrary, please assume that any vehicle could have had bodywork or paintwork. Photographs may not reflect the exact true colour or exact full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
